do you use revanced?
.
.
Dennis, I wouldn't use youtube anymore without it
FlembleFabber, Same
kratoz29, I would not use YT either without Smart Tube Next on my Shield TV lol.
YT premium can fuck off until they ad Sponsorblock… Which they will never do.
ninjakitty7, More people need to know about Smart Tube. Like sure my desktop computer is totally on ad lockdown but my tv isn’t connected to my computer so i was stuck with normal youtube on my amazon fire stick for the longest time until i had enough and went looking on my own. Never going back. Should work on most android smart tv devices.
Biofobico, No. I use NewPipe x SponsorBlock. -Link
pewgar_seemsimandroid, use that too sometimes
lol, All the time. At this point I’m waiting to replace my second hand iPad with an Android tablet so I can achieve a truly optimal YT experience.
wason,
lol, I would but my first gen iPad Air is too old for that, I think
wason, Indeed
pewgar_seemsimandroid, off topic: HOLY MOLY HOW THE HECK DID YOU GET THAT USERNAME ON LEMY.LOL
lol, Small instance.
pewgar_seemsimandroid, but but its lemy.lol not lemy.bean
t0fr, Yes, I can’t live without it
jason123santa, The fork of the original vanced that I used broke so I switched to revanced.
Bloodwoodsrisen, I’d love to continue using it but I’ve had issues with videos getting stuck in endless loading. So I have both revanced and the normal app installed
BrazenSigilos, I’ve been having a similar problem the last couple days, can’t seem to find a solution yet however.
Mrduckrocks, Patch more recent supported youtube client it will fix the issue.
Im28xwa, ReVanced extended through Revancify
Mr_Buscemi, Well a fast tutorial I can give is this.
- Disable/remove updates for the default YouTube app
- Download revanced from this site revanced.app
- Install revanced app and update anything necessary.
- Download the recommended YouTube APK which is 18.23.35. Here is a link I used to get the APK. www.apkmirror.com/…/youtube-18-23-35-release/
- Once that’s installed, go to the revanced app and go to the “patcher” menu.
- Click “select an application” button and then click the “Storage” button you see on the bottom. Then find the youtube APK that you downloaded and click it.
- You can now select the patches you’d want the app to have. You could just select “default” to have it patch the 52 or 57 things that most people care to change.
- Now just click the patch button and it’ll hopefully not fail.
Hope that looks good formatted. I’m on my phone lol.
pewgar_seemsimandroid, nah mabye I’d change the premium logo but not much
Mr_Buscemi, You should try and keep the sponsorblock patch added. You can just have it show a “skip” button on the sponsored ads in the videos and it’ll skip past it all. It’s a pretty useful thing to have. You get to also see the different marked spots on the scroll bar.
pewgar_seemsimandroid, i meant from the default configuration from he one i downloaded via command line app
darcy, yes :) but i should use newpipe
2kool4idkwhat, No, I’m using NewPipe
ThaijsClan, After discovering revanced and smarttube I refuse to ever go back
son_named_bort, I do. I tried newpipe but not being able to log into my account was a deal breaker. The only negative I have with revanced is that I can’t cast with it, although having Smart Tube on my Chromecast helps.
Zeko9381, Interesting, I can cast with it just fine.
pewgar_seemsimandroid, i never purposefully used the casting feature
GARlactic, I have reVanced but unfortunately I struggle with getting it to work consistently. Most commonly, the video will play for a minute or so and then buffer endlessly. My Internet research tells me the only way to fix it is to root my device, and I’m honestly not willing to go that far. Luckily I have adblock installed on my phone, so the official app is tolerable.
Mr_Buscemi, The other replier is right. I have the same issue every few months and all I have to do is download the recommended YouTube APK & reinstall revanced with the default patches.
Had this issue again 3 days ago and it fixed it. Just be sure you are patching the APK you downloaded and not the original YouTube app. That caused the patching to fail the first few times till I noticed.
GARlactic, I’d love a walkthrough on how to do that. To be honest, it’s been a while since I installed it and I’ve forgotten what I needed to do.
Player2, That happened to me about a week ago, I just reinstalled the recommended version in the manager and it works fine now
odunke01, It might be that you need to update your APK.
It happens at times that Google changes something on the backend and you need to repack a new APK version.
pewgar_seemsimandroid, i have a wierd glitch where when I haven’t been on revanced for a good amount of time a endless buffer will come but i just press the back button and it’s gone
fujiwara, I’m on a YouTube premium family plan for free right now, because my sister had an extra spot open. Once my nephew grows up and I get kicked off, I’ll switch to ReVanced or NewPipe.
twistedtxb, I tried so many YT frontends and I found ReVanced to be the best, imo.
The fact that you can you can keep your account AND customize you frond end to your liking is pretty awesome.
SmartTube if you have an Android TV / Chromecast etc
